We Are

A safe and welcoming place for 7th-12th grade students to develop friendships, be mentored, and discover Jesus.

Programming Focuses

Our Youth Ministry has three key ministry programming focuses: Community Outreach, Discipleship, and Care.
Our programming and events always reflect at least one of these core focuses.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Being a safe place for students: Students must feel like they “belong” first, and then hopefully they will “believe.”

Being present in our community

Providing a space for spiritual conversations

Living out Christ’s mission to share His good news

Luke 10:2 | He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
Acts 17:22-23 | Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.

DISCIPLESHIP

Large community gathering for worship, prayer, learning, application, and friendship

Small groups for students who want to “go deeper”

Leadership development opportunities

Encouragement and coaching from caring adult leaders and mentoring

Hebrews 10:24-25 | And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Acts 2:1 | …they were all together in one place.

CARE

Connecting each student with at least five Christ-following adults who will walk alongside them as they become mature confident adults

Parent support, development, encouragement

Volunteer care and development

1 Corinthians 11:1 | Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
Joshua 1:9 | Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
